Graduation is almost here!

Well, graduation is almost here. It's difficult for me to believe--kind of bittersweet, really. I am excited, but sad, too. It has been nice to come home and not worry about homework, though. I actually picked up a book for leisurely reading--something that does not happen very often.

We're all trying to adjust to Andrew's new work schedule. We love having him home the entire weekend, but we sure do miss him during the week. Last Friday Andrew and I went to the Potter's House (a local soup kitchen and homeless shelter) and served dinner. We had a nice time. Serving the less fortunate is always such a humbling experience. It just reminds me that we never know what people are going through in their private lives. I know am so grateful for all the blessings in my life.

Connor had his school program this past week. I had to usher around my class and Andrew was unable to attend, so unfortunately, I did not make any great pictures. The children were absolutely adorable and sang so well. Connor decided to chew on his sleeve about half way through, instead of sing, but he still looked pretty sharp. The little stink! Hopefully he will be more motivated tomorrow when he makes his debut in the Nutcracker. Yes, that's right--the Nutcracker. He's a soldier in the Stokesdale Christmas Parade. I hope he doesn't flip out on us. I'll try to be better about the pictures and post some, if all goes well.
